Your Online Reputation Matters

Building, protecting, and managing your online reputation is more important today than maintaining a good credit score or keeping your resume up to date when you’re job hunting.

The first step is discovering what’s already online. If you haven’t done it already—Google yourself. But before you race off to the nearest search engine, here a few suggestions.

First, don’t stop at Google’s home page. It’s not a bad idea to begin at the front door of the world’s most popular search engine, but if you’re like most Internet users, you’ve already done that at least once.

Expand your search efforts by clicking on the link at the top of Google’s home page to switch to Google’s image search, where you’ll find pictures associated with your name.
